Every now and then - and I'm not saying this happens often - professional bakers have a little trouble making cakes that look like...well, anything.
Perhaps hardest of all is the vehicle cake. There's just something about all those shapes and circles and squares that drives even the most hardened Shop-a-Lot Davinci to edible clip art with the watermarks still on:
Now, if only we had a picture of chocolate drizzle and sprinkles...
So let's say you want KITT from Knight Rider on your cake:
Binka binka binka binka dinka binka dinka binka...
[That was me singing the theme song. Obviously.]
Rather than attempt the entire car, your baker might try to home in on KITT's most distinguishing feature:
The ketchup-and-mustard smear under his seat.
Or how about this tractor?
At first glance, you might think this could be broken down into a simple drawing of two boxes on two wheels.
BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG.
It's an extremely complicated design, and rendering it in icing is so unbelievably difficult that the finished product would be far beyond the bounds of mere mortal comprehension.
Yeah. Like that.
And finally, let's say your child wants a school bus cake:
(Oh, you know this is going to be good.)
You might end up with this:
It's not small. It's "fun sized!"
Wait. Can a bus be flaccid?
Thanks to Andie K., Brooke & Mike K., Lea B., & Pete H. for keeping us on track today.

P.S. Did you know you can buy the entire series of Knight Rider on Blu-Ray for only $34? That's less than the DVD set!
Knight Rider, The Complete Series
I haven't see this show since I was about 10, so I'm curious if it holds up. If not, then I hope it's hilariously bad; anything in the middle is just boring. :p

And from my other blog, Epbot:
① comment with your character. ② repliers queue up a text (or two or three to choose from) that they typed up, but never sent. ③ only they fat-fingered and set them flying out of the outbox into infamy. ④ it's two in the morning jfc why are you asking me if i'd love you if you were a worm? no, i don't think my little pony is a metaphor for communism. go to sleep. check out theunsentproject if you'd like more serious ideas. |

Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments. Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip-off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now. Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no-go? A mixture of both? The wound has long closed, yet the pains remain; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it.

![]() When it comes to the way affection is shown, everyone has a different way they go about it. That means that there's a pretty good chance, with regards to couples, you could end up with two people who have two varying approaches towards how they prove they care...sometimes radically varying, which can lead to more than a little confusion or hurt feelings if there's not proper communication. But when both people are on the same page, they can tell each other how they feel with few words. ☄ Comment with your character, info, prefs, and how your character will likely show affection. |
When it comes to powerfully good cake, the choice is (nu)clear:
And here's some fuel for thought: this wasn't a special order. It was just out in the display case, on the off chance someone was having a nuclear power plant themed occasion worth celebrating.
HOW WELL THEY KNOW ME.
Thanks to Clare M. for the rad wreckporting.
